[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Gyeongnam Hamyang Sansam Festival Committee held the '2022 2nd Regular General Meeting' at the Hamyang County Office large conference room with about 70 festival committee members in attendance.

The regular general meeting proceeded in the order of ▲2022 Hamyang Sansam Festival Committee income and expenditure settlement (proposal) ▲Partial amendment of the Hamyang Sansam Festival Committee operation regulations (proposal) ▲Election of a new chairman ▲Report on the results of the 17th Hamyang Sansam Festival.

Despite difficulties, Chairman Kim Seong-gi, who successfully led the two previous Sansam festivals, stepped down, and former Safety and Urban Director Ino-tae, who retired from Hamyang County as a public official, was elected as the new chairman.

County Governor Jin Byeong-yeong expressed gratitude for Chairman Kim Seong-gi’s efforts and presented him with a plaque of appreciation.

Chairman Kim Seong-gi said, “I thank all the committee members who worked together to successfully hold the two Sansam festivals held before and after the Expo,” adding, “I will do my best to help make it a festival representing not only Hamyang but also our country.”

Hamyang County Governor Jin Byeong-yeong said, “I thank Chairman Kim Seong-gi and all the committee members who worked hard for the successful festival,” and added, “I hope the Hamyang Sansam Festival will become a small but strong festival, a festival where local residents participate together, and a festival that revitalizes the local economy.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2021 Hamyang Sansam Anti-Aging Expo, the 2022 Hamyang Sansam Festival, held for the first time in three years, faced difficulties such as a shortened period due to the influence of typhoons and the resurgence of COVID-19. However, according to an evaluation report, 190,000 people visited over seven days, generating approximately 1.6 billion KRW in sales from Sansam and agricultural specialty products.
